Eight Point Star Quilt – King

$798.00

The Eight-Point Star Quilt is an intricate star pattern that traditionally allowed a woman to showcase her needlework skills. Precision is extremely important in piecing stars for a neat finished product! Out of the hundreds of star patterns, one of the most popular is the Eight-Point Star. It includes a scalloped black border and 382 yards of hand quilting done by only one Pennsylvania Amish or Mennonite woman to ensure even stitching. On a king bed, this quilt will have 18 inches of drop per side.

Measures 114″ x 114″ long.

 

Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

A quilt is not merely a comfortable blanket: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artisans that make our quilts choose quality vivid materials and arrange them into a creative work of art. Select from our stock of over two hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your taste.

Though the fabric pieces are sewn with each other by machine to ensure tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as superb washing outcomes.

Just about all of our quilts are generous enough to take care of the need for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as mattress heights vary, each quilt's proportions varies. We designate the quilt's measurements as well as the estimated drop for you to compare to the overall size you are looking for. It is important to do your measuring before purchasing!

Can you wash these quilts?

Yes, our quilts are certainly machine-washable! We recommend adhering to these guidelines for ideal handling results:
